Puzzle in the north-east of Paris. Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 January, the Gare de l’Est will close its doors for “major works”, announces the SNCF. No trains will arrive or depart from the station. As a result, the P line of the Transilien, which serves the east of the Paris region, is particularly disrupted. The same is true for the RER E, since the Magenta stations, near the Gare du Nord, and Haussmann Saint-Lazare will also be inaccessible. SNCF advises travelers to “postpone their trips during this weekend”, the rest of these two lines being also disturbed.
Long-distance trains, such as TGVs, have for their part been transferred a few hundred meters from the Gare de l’Est. So, if you want to travel to Strasbourg, Metz or Nancy, you will have to go to the Gare du Nord side, which will exceptionally accommodate the trains traveling these routes. For the TER Strasbourg-Châlons-Paris, Gare de Lyon will replace Paris Est for a weekend.
